Whitehall Elementary School
May/June 2019 Edition
SC Ready and SC PASS State Assessment
The schedule for testing is below:
May 9 and 10-ELA for 3rd grade students
May 20-21-ELA for 4th-5th grade students
May 22-Math for 3rd-5th grade students
May 23-Science for 4th grade students
May 23-Social Studies for 5th grade students
*State assessment testing is required for all students in 3rd-5th grades. Please help Whitehall by having students at school on time and avoiding early dismissals on the scheduled testing days. We have several events scheduled throughout May. Our goal is for all students to be here on scheduled test days so they will not miss any events due to taking a make-up test.
Teacher Appreciation Week-May 6-10
Interesting Teacher Facts:
- A teacher’s contract day does not include time spent at home planning lessons or grading student work. Working at home can take hours in the evening and can consist of planning the next day’s lesson, collaborating with their peers ( text, Facetime, phone call) attending classes, and/or using the weekend to plan individualized and differentiated lessons.
- Clara Barton (1831–1912) is best known for founding the American Red Cross, but she was also a respected teacher. She even opened a free public school in New Jersey at a time when there were almost none in the area.

Summer Fun
Summer Reading Book Packs
Wholeheartedly Helping Everyone Succeed
So, students will be allowed to pick out 4-5 free brand new books to add to their home libraries. We are so excited that our district has afforded us the opportunity to be able to give our students books! Thank you Anderson District Five!
Students will be asked to turn in a log of their reading time when they return to school in August. For the students that meet the minimum required summer reading, the WHES faculty and staff will have an exciting fun-filled surprise planned.
More information about Summer Reading will come home soon from our Reading Coach, Mrs. Amy Sanderson.
